Sausage & Peppers
with Sweet Chili Aioli
Paddlefish by Chef Steven Richard
Makes 4 appetizer portions
For the aioli
Ingredients:
1 cup Mayonnaise
¾ cup Sweet chili sauce
1 TBSP Sriracha sauce
Taste Kosher salt
Taste Fresh ground pepper
Procedure:
Whisk all ingredients together in a mixing bowl until combined.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and store under refrigeration.
For the paprika oil
Ingredients:
1 cup Olive oil
¼ cup Paprika
Procedure:
Combine the oil and paprika in a small but heavy saucepan.
Heat the mixture gently over low to medium heat while stirring.
The mixture should be heated enough to extract the color and flavor from the paprika but not hot enough to cook it … 150 – 160 F.
Stir the mixture a few times over the course of a half hour until the oil takes on a deep red color.
Let the mixture sit at room temperature until all of the paprika settles into a cake at the bottom of the pan. This will take as much as an hour or two.
Without disturbing the paprika at the bottom of the pan, pour the oil gently into a squeeze bottle or other container. Discard the settled paprika left in the bottom of the pan.
Finish the dish
Ingredients:
28 ea Whole shishito peppers
12 oz Chorizo sausage
6 oz Sweet chili aioli (above)
As needed Paprika oil (above)
As needed Vegetable oil (360 F)
Procedure:
Heat oil in a table top fryer to 360 degrees following device instructions.
Meanwhile, prepare the chorizo by cutting it into slices that are as thin as possible.
Working in batches so as not to overload your fryer, cook the sausage slices with the whole peppers just until the peppers blister and the sausage crisps up a bit. It will take about 30 seconds for each batch.
Drain and hold the product on a rack, over a sheet pan.
Distribute the sausage and peppers evenly on 4 plates … each with a ramekin of sweet chili aioli.
Drizzle each plate with a bit of your paprika oil.
Tips:
This dish will work with a variety of chorizo products. Choose your favorite fully cooked and ready to eat product. Do not use a raw product.
Shishitos are a small green pepper with a mildly spicy character.
This works well as a tapas item, served with a variety of other small plates.
Serve it individually or choose to serve it family style.
Always think about the color of your serving vehicle when entertaining. Choose a plate that will accentuate the color of your paprika oil drizzled on the plate.
The recipes for sweet chili aioli and for paprika oil will make more than you need for these four plates. Both will hold very well under refrigeration for at least a week. Try the paprika oil on grilled fish or pork. The aioli works well with a variety of fried items.
